Homes and buildings in Welkom
Welkom's wide streets and regular houses date from the goldfields boom, and many floors are now tired. Owners in Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs retile with large, easy-clean porcelain, often replacing carpet or worn vinyl. Mine houses, hostels and compounds in the goldfields need tough, affordable tiles laid in volume. Thabong and Virginia see steady tiling as homes are finished and extended. Farm homes on the surrounding maize and sunflower land ask for cool, hard-wearing floors, and guesthouses refresh rooms and stoeps. Winters bring frost, and summer heat is strong, so the same tile must cope with both. Tilers work locally, with Bloemfontein supplying specialist stock.
Typical porcelain tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: dense, easy-clean floors through the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms that last decades
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: full-body tiles for canteens, workshops and ablutions that take knocks
